I don’t know about you guys, but for sheer ugliness there is no competition. The Family Truckster wins by a mile.

Surely you’re joking. This looks better than Sir Vival. Heck, it even looks better than the Pink Panther mobile.

There’s nothing really OVERT about it, but that thing just gives off an air of “obscene”, with just a whiff of “really gross internal organ” overlaying it.
[QUOTE=Gatopescado]
Well, it doesn’t look *as bad * from the rear.

Are we talking about coyote mornings here?

An air of the obscene? It bloody well looks like an effing vibrator!
[QUOTE=Tuckerfan]
Oooh! Oooh! Take some pictures, please!
[/QUOTE]
Oh, most definitely pictures will be taken. I can’t guarantee I will get to it this week and I won’t be around next week, but this is now on my to do list.

I had one of those as a kid. It came in a box of Pink Panther Cereal which was awful and lasted about a minute, because it was a snap together mini SST car and the pull strap was maybe 3 inches long.
It didn’t have the plush carpet interior or the implied smell of cheap perfume either.
I’m forced to agree though, Sir Vival goes beyond ugly and I’d love to see it all polished up and restored.
I think somebody *really *stretched the definition of “car”. That *thing *is what nightmares are made of.
[QUOTE=engineer_comp_geek]
I hope like heck that someone buys that car and restores it. That car is just too weird to let it rust away into scrap metal. Something that unique must be preserved.
[/QUOTE]
This is what’s wrong with this country. It shouldn’t be preserved for it’s uniqueness, it should be shunned like the kid who got caught eating his boogers in high school. We shouldn’t let it rust away to scrap metal, we should melt it down and put it out of it’s misery. I say burn all evidence that it ever existed lest future generations think we actually created, or Og forbid, drove that monstrosity.
I hope you know I’m not picking on you engineer_comp_geek, you just provided a convenient quote.

Actually, it kind of looks like some alien stomach on wheels. Really kind of repulsive…

Kinda that whole “If you can’t say anything nice…” thing, I guess.
Personally, I’d love to have it. I’d park it between my Fiat and my Volvo.

How’s about we compromise - (spoilered to spare the squeemish a possible TMI moment):
It’s an alien stomach on wheels, bred to be a vibrating sex toy. Its preferred foods include: sperm, vaginal secretions, and especially viral and bacterial STDs. Failing of a supply of any of those, it can maintain itself on a coprophagic diet.
[QUOTE=Mr. Rosewater]
Something about it reminds me of the Homer.
Designed by Msr. Simpson, of course.

That’s what I was thinking.
[QUOTE=Tuckerfan]
Sir Vival a one-off prototype built by a man with a dream. which thankfully never came to pass. Has once again been exposed to the cold light of day. :eek: :eek: :eek:

That was over three months ago. I think it’s safe to assume that WreckingCrew did not Sir Vive the encounter.
Poor, brave, crazy kid…
[QUOTE=Tuckerfan]
Do you want to limit it to one off models or cars that have actually made it into production?
In the one-off category we have the Aurora, the Tucker Torpedo, a custom built RV, and another custom RV. (Those are just for starters.)
[/QUOTE]
If I ever write a screenplay for a dark, disturbing science fiction film set in a warped pseudo-1950s dystopia, I shall insist that all vehicles be modeled after the Aurora. That thing is unpleasant in a way the Sir Vival cannot match.
JRB
And what the hell is it with these “future” cars and random, superfluous headlights?
Until now the attention has been focused on the uglinicity and unsafetyness of the vehicle.
My objection to the Sir-Vival is more practical in nature. How’s the driver supposed to get a driving down the road nobber? I mean come on, there’s limits to what the consumer will put up with.
Holy collisions Batman. Quick dive into the steal bulkhead. After the crash you hear the driver say “I had an accident and I’ve blown a rubber, but the wife should be alright.”
I guess what I’d really like to know is what Ralph Nader thinks about it.
NOT!
I think it needs am more descriptive name. Sir Vile pops into my mind.
